"How'd you know?" Nancy asked in confusion. She thought she had been acting normal around him.

"Just a guess," Debbie replied. "He makes a lot of people confused."

Nancy could have sighed with relief. So she doesn't know what's up. "Yeah," she laughed, "I can see that."

"You have been avoiding him all day. Did he do something mean again?"

Nancy shook her head. "No, no. I guess I just don't know how to act around him."

"No one does; that's why he's Scott."

"I… see…"

Debbie clapped a hand on Nancy's shoulder. "Don't worry too much. You'll be fine."
